Ultimate Reset Day 3

Today was hard.  I realized that I base a lot of my daily life around food.  It's crazy to think of all the times I would grab this or grab that.  I was blindly eating.  Noticing my food habits has been hard.  Especially today when I went to the store to pick up distilled water and plain yogurt.   I had to wait in line and I just looked down avoiding the candy.  I usually don't get it anyways (I'm more of an ice cream girl)  but I guess knowing I couldn't eat it made me want it so bad!  But once again - I resisted.  It would be so easy to quit and have a piece of junk.   But I'm 3 days in and already feel so much better!  I have no intentions of quitting.  This is so good for me and I'm becoming such a great role model for my son.    It comes down to how bad I want this.  I want it BAD therefore I will do what I need to do to complete it.  Now, onto today's food.

Breakfast today was the same as day 1.  Two scrambled eggs, kale, and two slices of toast.  I decided to jazz it up a bit and turn it into a sandwich.  This made it much more tolerable.  Also - when you eat kale your supposed to cut out the ribs.  Who knew!   It was good and filling.  The kale just might be growing on me.  Might be....

Lunch today was the microgreen salad and lentil lime salad.  The microgreen salad is huge.  Despite me not having any more peppers and using just 2 TBS seeds instead of 1/3 cup it was still pretty big.  I was full by the time I got to the lentil salad but ate most of it.  To be honest, it wasn't that great.  For one, I thought the lentils resembled beatle backs.  So while eating them, all I could think of was eating bugs.  I'm also not a fan of lime but after a while I didn't seem to notice it.   One tip - read ahead.  The directions said to let this soak for at least 2 hours.   I may have liked it more had I done that.  I make it again tomorrow so we'll see how I like it then.  

Today was the first day I opted for a snack.  Even though lunch was filling, I felt hungry but thought it was too early for dinner.  I had 1 cup of strawberries and 3/4 cup of vanilla greek yogurt.  It was fantastic.   The strawberries were so sweet and it felt like such a treat.  After eating I thought about why I chose to eat a snack today and not yesterday or the day before.  The only thing I could think of was that I didn't really enjoy lunch and I wanted something I enjoyed.  Not sure if that means anything or not.  I think I will need to talk to my support group regarding this.

Now onto dinner.  It was supposed to be nori roles and miso soup.  However, I made a lot of extra beans and rice from last nights meal - apparently 1 cup of dry rice turns into more than 1 cup of cooked.   Since I didn't want to waste food - I ate it again.  And to be honest, the Alkenize has really turned me off of seaweed.  I had every intention of eating the nori but since I couldn't get the alkanize down without gagging, I didn't want to gag down dinner too.  I also made green beans instead of kale.   I had kale this morning and wanted to use up some of these green beans.   Hopefully my substitutions don't completely screw things up. 

So, that's it for me today.  Body wise, I feel tired but not exhausted - which is refreshing.  I also feel sore, as if I have worked out.  I read the program and nutrition guide and it is normal.  I can't wait to finish this and share results.  It will be amazing!   As always, if you wish to know more about the Ultimate Reset, you can contact me or visit here.
